The biggest difference you will find is that
your current website login information will not work in the new system. That is because the passwords for the accounts on the current site are encrypted and can't be transferred to the new site. As such,
you will need to establish a new password on the new site. It is a short and relatively painless process, and once it's done, you're good to go!

Special Note to Ride Leaders: Your ride coordinators will soon be providing you with detailed guidelines on uploading your rides.

Bike to Work Day is a celebration of bicycling as a clean, fun, and healthy way to get to work. It also presents a real opportunity for Potomac Pedalers to introduce commuters to our club.

Potomac Pedalers is once again organizing tables at several Bike to Work Day pit stops. Stop by and visit us at one of the following six locations:
Bethesda, Takoma Park, and Twinbrook, MD; Freedom Plaza, DC; Rosslyn and Ballston, VA.

The PPTC Women's Ride Committee is leading this informative and breathtaking ride through and around the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge, Maryland, with the start and end at the newly opened Harriet Tubman Center. This ride has a $15 registration fee to include a donation to the refuge and entrance fee to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge.
Spend the day riding and learning during this self-contained (no sag or support) ride of various lengths. Do all or one of the routes with a Bonus 10 mile ride through the Refuge on Wildlife Drive (no more than 10 to a group).

After the ride, we will have a potluck at the Harriet Tubman Outdoor Picnic Shelter. You can learn about the Blackwater Refuge from a park volunteer, then visit the Harriet Tubman and Blackwater Refugee Visitor Centers, which are close to each other by car or bike.

Dreaming of summer, a cool mountain breeze, and spending some time poolside? Then mark your calendars for the Potomac Pedalers Shenandoah Valley Weekend, July 7-9. Based in Mt. Jackson, Virginia, the area is a fabulously bucolic place for cyclists - no sprawl, little traffic and plenty of corn! Enjoy
scenic rides, mountain views, creeks, and a top-notch covered bridge. You'll have the opportunity to explore nearby vineyards, the Mt. Jackson Arts Museum, the Rt. 11 Potato Chip factory, antique stores, Bryce resort, Shenandoah Caverns, Civil War battlefields; go duckpin bowling; or just lounge by the pool! Come see why we call it summer camp for adults!

Carlisle weekend registration is open. The rides will remain in the same idyllic location of rolling farms, where you will have choices of a number of mileage options, with big climbs or just the lovely rolling country-side. We will also be riding through Boiling Springs! We had fun riding to a local brewery last year on Friday afternoon and seeing a historic Molly Pitcher monument.

If you have a non-cycling partner attending with you, there is LOTS to do! The Appalachian Trail is very close by, as well as the Guilford Pinchot state park.

Carlisle is the county seat for Cumberland County, it's a very attractive town for cycling and walking.
